Thanks for the update dewds. For those of you who don't know the background on this song, the second half has a lot of lines from The Horse Dance chapter of Black Elk Speaks, which I read for a religion class. Black Elk was the holy man of the Oglala Sioux. There's something very spiritual about this song, not just because of its origins but because of the way the words are presented. They did wonderful justice to the borrowed phrases. This song, as well as the two that follow on the album, are kind of about...yeah, our group may be a little different, but we're the same as we ever were, we're not going to hide or change anything, and in fact we are even MORE free now. And to prove it, here are ancient words passed down for generations in a way that only akron/family could present them. This song is among their best.
